Bixel is an innovative AI-powered NFT generator that offers Binance users a unique opportunity to generate custom artworks with the help of AI. By sending text prompts or uploading images, users can leverage Bixel’s AI to generate new digital artworks, which can then be minted as NFTs on the BNB Smart Chain. Bixel combines the power of AI and Web3 to offer an accessible entry point into the world of digital art and NFTs.

AI NFT generator is back and available to everyone

Previously, this AI-powered NFT generator had only been available twice. The first time was on March 1, 2023, when it underwent a small beta test limited to a select number of European users, resulting in the successful minting of 10,000 NFTs in just a few hours.

We then reopened the service on March 29, 2023 for all users worldwide, but it was only available for 12 hours and only 100,000 Binance users had access to it on a first-come, first-serve basis.

But don’t worry if you missed it, because we’re excited to announce that starting July 26th, we’re bringing back our AI-powered NFT generator, and this time it will be for regular use and available to everyone. To celebrate its return, along with significant improvements and new developments, this version of the service will be renamed Bixel.

We are excited to enable all Binancians to unleash their creativity. In this blog, we take a closer look at the key features and latest developments, provide a guide to minting your own AI-generated NFT, and walk you through the Bixel Challenge, where the best creators can earn BNB.

The next phase of Bixel: main requirements

As we move into this exciting new phase for Bixel, it’s well worth spending some time to understand the key innovations and requirements of this unique AI NFT generator. Get ready to discover the latest iteration of a service that can be used by anyone interested in the world of Web3 and AI art.

1. AI-generated NFT minting accessible to everyone: This phase of Bixel democratises the NFT space by offering all users an opportunity to create and mint their own AI-generated NFTs. No longer will it be the exclusive domain of a closed circle of artists or designers, as with Bixel, anyone can generate unique digital art and join the fascinating world of NFTs.

2. Performing KYC verification for NFT minting: Trust and security are our top priority. Therefore, to mint NFTs with Bixel, users must complete identity verification, a process we sometimes refer to as “KYC” (“Know Your Customer”). We apply this critical measure to maintain a safe and trusted platform for all users, in line with best practices and regulatory requirements.

3. NFT Minting Fee: A small fee is charged to mint NFTs with Bixel. Currently, this minting fee is 0.008 BNB ($2 at the time of writing), which ensures that the process of creating your NFT on the BNB Smart Chain runs smoothly.

Discover Bixel's exciting new features for creating NFT art

Bixel offers a variety of exciting features to support you in your creative journey and help you create your own NFT. These features are designed to make it a safe and seamless experience for everyone. Welcome to the new phase of Bixel. Your creative journey has just begun!

1. Ten lead generation opportunities a day, free

Each interaction that results in the generation of a new image—whether that’s creating a completely new image by clicking “Generate” or modifying an existing image by clicking “Variations”—will use up one of your creation opportunities. You have a total of ten generation opportunities per day, at no cost. And your generation opportunities reset every day at 0:00 UTC, so you’ll always have new opportunities to create and innovate on your digital art.

2. The power to choose your style

Art is about self-expression. With that in mind, Bixel lets you select a style that suits your creativity before generating the image with AI. With nine different styles to choose from (including realistic, anime, painting, fantasy, and cyberpunk), you can bring your imagination to life with an even more personalized touch.

3. Enhance your NFT artwork with Bixel

Bixel’s “Variation” feature allows you to explore different versions of your image, giving you room to fine-tune and perfect your artwork. You can use it whenever you have daily generation opportunities left. Additionally, Bixel offers an “Upsample” feature that allows you to upgrade your image from 512x512 to a much sharper 1024x1024 image. Please note that using this feature will not use up any of your daily generation opportunities.

How to mint your own AI NFT with Bixel

Minting your AI-generated images as NFTs is an additional step beyond generating a piece of art. Minting is the process that registers your digital artwork on the blockchain (BNB Smart Chain, in this case), giving it a unique digital identity and turning it into an NFT. This process requires completing identity verification (KYC) and involves a minting fee.

Below you can find a simplified, detailed tutorial on how to mint your own Bixel NFT.

For more information, please see our FAQ.

1. Log in to your Binance account and head to Bixel via the banner on the Binance NFT homepage.

2. Start the process of creating your unique AI-powered NFT by entering prompts or uploading a portrait for Bixel to use as inspiration.

3. Choose the creative style you prefer and generate the image.

4. Review the AI-generated images and select the one you like best.

5. Use the “Upgrade” feature if you want to improve the image resolution to 1024 x 1024.

6. Click “Mint,” enter a name and description for your NFT, and confirm the minting fee.

7. Wait for the minting process to finish. You can find your NFT under “My NFTs” in your profile.

Congratulations, you've just minted your first Bixel NFT. With these simple steps, we're putting the power to create and own unique digital art in your hands. You can then list your NFT for sale on the Binance NFT marketplace if you'd like, or set it as your profile picture. Happy minting!
